Hey everyone.
Recently, I have submited a blog thread about my first contact with Blizzard's brand new title, Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty.

Like I was saying, there's a lot of things that annoy me when i play versus my fellow silver league players that play using the Zerg race.

As a protoss player, im having a hard time playing against the zerg becouse so far, I didn't manage to pull a rabbit out of the hat when it comes to beating Zerg players.

For instance, yesterday, I had the pleasure of being raped by a player that went for mass hydras and infestors.
I had massed zealots, couple of dark templars (note that he had overseers but that isn't the point), several sentries and a decent amount of Collosuses. (about 5 Colosuses).

Eventhough I used my army with carefull macro/micro, I got raped becouse his infestors mind controled my collosuses and basically beat me with my own army, which is kinda weird becouse collosuses are a must have vs zerg, yet it's useless since it can be mind controled.

As a suggestion to Blizzard's devs, they should restrict the mind control skill to tier 1 units. If a protoss masses Carriers for example, the zerg makes several Infectors and destroyes the protoss with his own units.

About myself, all I can say is that I had the pleasure of attending a small event ESL Romania is organising every weekend in May, along with Intel and Media Galaxy (Romanian electronics shop), to celebrate Men's Day (May 5th).

I went in the first day of the event and had the pleasure of competing for the Fifa World Cup 2010: South Africa Amateur contest, where I came up second and won an EA Sports jacket with "Need for Speed Shift" written nicely on the back, as well as a Fifa World Cup 2010 Retail game.

A couple of hours later, on 4 computers provided by Intel and Media Galaxy with full gaming gear, the 2v2 Starcraft 2 Beta competition began.

My former coleagues from ESL Romania insisted that I chose a member of the croud to team up with and, as a result, I got teamed up with a girl.

We had to face a couple of guys, both of them Terran players, in a BO3 matchup.
Basically, we were like P+T vs T+T.

The first game, took place on [4]Lost Temple.
I was the 3 o'clock protoss and my team mate the 6 o'clock terran, against the 2 players in the 9 and 12 o'clock positions.
The game was pretty fast since I planted a pylon next to the bases of the 2 terrans and had my team mate scan the lower margins of their bases so I could warp in a couple of fast dark templars(I went directly for DTs, hoping they wouldn't atempt a rush).

The second game and third games were one 2 maps I really don't remember at the moment.

Anyway, the matchup basically ended at 2-0, yet we decided to play the 3rd game as well and it all went down to a flat 3-0.
We won a golden medal with "Intel Starcraft 2 First Place" written on it, as well as a Blizzard T-Shirt and a plush speaking Murloc.

I really wanted to provide coverage of this event, here on sk-gaming.com, yet, for some reason, my friends at ESL Romania asked me not to.

Anyway, I want to annouce that starting this weekend, I intend to livestream all my games and hopefully provide commentaries to very nice games provided by top EU platinum players, obviously while streaming their match.

Maybe some of you might ask yourselves "Why would i listen to the commentaries of a silver league player?".

Well, i can't blame you if you do, yet the answer is simple.
Becouse i have the knowledge and the brains to comment matches and eventhough, im in silver league, i know how to apply most of the strategies out there, yet i lack the exercise to do it in order to go gold or platinum.

Anyway, I see myself as a behind the scenes kinda gamer and have no intention of going pro in SC2.

I like writing about stuff related to games and im still learning the editorial job description so please, don't hate.

Peace to you all.
